I knew that thread . What I meant (but did not wrote about...) was that a major reseller over here, known to keep up his prices as long as possible, is now also lowering them. In the past this was an indication that a new device is coming soon (happened for T1/T2, nexus 7 16Gb/nexus 7 32Gb, etc.) They always did that move when the new device will be sold for about the same amount as the old one it replaces.

Competition is so big now that it's obviously impossible to sell the T2 for 140 Euros. The Aura HD ist only 30 Euros more, you know.. I think that's the reason for the price drops. You can get the T2 for 100 Euros in major german bookstores: ebook.de, mayersche.de.
